Equipment to bring along
When using gasoline powered engines, fuel supplies should be carried in
approved type fuel containers. Every owner should have a good tool kit to help
ensure continued operation of the saw. The kit should contain the following:
• Multi-purpose re extinguisher.
• A few extra labeled cans or a plastic bottle (with attached pouring nozzle) of
chain oil.
• Wrenches, screwdriver, or combination wrench to t all nuts and screws on
the saw.
• Round le and guide for touching up the chain. Flat le and depth gauge to
le the depth guides.
• Small brush (1/2 inch) to clean away sawdust and wood chips from around
gas cap and cooling ns.
• Extra spark plug.
• Owner’s manual (wrapped in a plastic bag).
• Cleaning rags.
• Sharp ax. Sledge hammer and wedges. Shovel.
• First aid kit. Despite taking all precautions operating a chain saw, or just
working in the forest, presents dangers.
DO NOT transport fuel, or a saw containing fuel, in the same compartment
as passengers. The saw must be transported and secured in the truck
bed, equipment trailer, or trunk. Cover the chain and bar with a scabbard
(protective sheath).
CAUTION When sharpening a chain saw, to prevent cuts to the hands,
be sure to wear protective gloves when moving the chain or holding the bar.
Use a tool to move the chain. Do not push against the sharp cutters, instead
move the chain the same way it runs, from engine to bar tip direction.
CHAIN TENSION:
Tighten your chain according to the directions supplied in to your instruction
manual.
WARNING! After running, a saw chain will heat up and expand, and may
become loose on the guide bar. If not tensioned properly, the chain may derail
from the guide bar at high speeds. Stop the saw, recheck the chain tension.
Use the proper steps to tension the chain. Always recheck chain tension before
using a saw, as the tension may vary due to heating or cooling of the chain.
WARNING! A thrown chain can cause injury. Assure correct chain
tension. Don’t run with a loose chain.
